Prominent Perth bikie bailed on assault charges

Prominent Perth bikie Troy Mercanti has been granted bail on a series of charges, including assault and trespass.

The 44-year-old Finks bikie was arrested in January after allegedly trying to smash his way into a home in the suburb of Duncraig during a drug-induced rampage.

He left a trail of blood as he jumped into the backyards of several homes.

Along with trespass and criminal damage charges from that incident, he is also facing assault charges against his estranged partner, Tammie Kingdon.

Mercanti is currently in custody after previously being refused bail.

Today, Supreme Court Justice John McKechnie granted Mercanti home detention bail on strict conditions, including that he submit to drug testing, avoid witnesses, and not associate with members of outlaw motorcycle gangs.

Justice McKechnie ruled the bikie has to stay away from the home in Duncraig where the incident allegedly took place in case he attempted to interfere with potential witnesses.

Prosecutors said neighbours would be horrified to learn he had been released.

Mercanti is also not allowed to return to his own home in the same suburb.

Justice McKechnie said Mercanti's record speaks for itself and he has no regard for the norms of society.

The bikie will continue to be held in custody at Hakea Prison until suitable accommodation is approved by the court.
